I haven't heard them, no. I would be suprised if first generation tapes were not used for the cds, although when you consider it was 18 years ago, when people were putting all sorts of poor cd masters out (Led zeppelin being a good example here, the original cds were terrible apparently, until Jimmy Page personally remastered them in the mid 90s) Another bad example of cd mastering were the original Queen cds which suffered from poor track separation. It was ok to play the albums start to finish, but if picking individual tracks out, you were liable to hear the end of the previous track, or miss out the beginning of the track you wanted.

COMMENTS: The discs came with or without printed labels, as well as with different ground colours on the cover. These colours are blue or green. "HEROES" is a silly home made mix. YOU'RE HOLDING ME DOWN has nothing to do with Bowie, except that it was (maybe) recorded by his former group, The King Bees! 1984- DODO / A LADD IN VEIN / LOVE YOU TILL TUESDAY are all outtakes. WAITING FOR THE MAN IS FROM BBC 1970. The rest of the songs are official versions. The other version of "HEROES" is from A Merry Olde Christmas TV Show 1977.
